To amend title 10, United States Code, to revise the computation of military disability retired pay computation for certain members of the uniformed services injured while a cadet or midshipman at a service academy.
Summary
H.R. 2685 aims to change how disability retirement pay is calculated for military members who were injured while attending a service academy, such as West Point or the Naval Academy. Under this bill, the time a person spent serving as a cadet or midshipman would be officially counted as years of service when determining their disability benefits. This change would likely increase the monthly retirement payments for affected veterans by ensuring their academy years are factored into the financial formula used by the Department of Defense.
